The kidney and the balance of sulfur and nitrogen as fundamental components of pH homeostasis [PDF]
Physiological ReportsThe homeostasis of blood and tissue pH is fundamental for life, and pH imbalances may lead to coma and death. The regulation of the acid–base balance involves primarily the lungs and kidneys, and is strictly integrated via the endocrine and nervous ...

Extreme Metabolic Alkalosis Caused by Temporary Jejunostomy—A Case Report and Physiopathological Insights [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground and Clinical Significance: Metabolic alkalosis is the most common acid–base disturbance in hospitalized and critically ill patients, with extreme alkalemia (pH > 7.65) linked to mortality rates exceeding 80%.

Influence of prior alkalosis or acidosis on physiological responses during passive hyperthermia [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyThis study manipulated the blood pH of participants to be mildly acidic or basic prior to passive hyperthermia to examine its effects on thermoregulatory and chemo‐regulatory responses, including ventilatory parameters, rectal temperature (Tre) and ...

Acid–base balance in hemodialysis patients in everyday practice
Renal Failure, 2022 Introduction Abnormalities in blood bicarbonates (HCO3–) concentration are a common finding in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially at the end-stage renal failure. Initiating of hemodialysis does not completely solve this problem.

Biochemical Approach of Acid-Base Disturbances
Revista Colombiana de Nefrología, 2023 Background: The current paradigms in arterial blood gas analysis are based on mathematical or physicochemical models that require complex algorithms for interpretation. This leads to avoidance or dislike from health care professionals.

It Is Chloride Depletion Alkalosis, Not Contraction Alkalosis [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2012 Maintenance of metabolic alkalosis generated by chloride depletion is often attributed to volume contraction. In balance and clearance studies in rats and humans, we showed that chloride repletion in the face of persisting alkali loading, volume contraction, and potassium and sodium depletion completely corrects alkalosis by a renal mechanism.

Alkalosis in Critically Ill Patients with Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Although metabolic alkalosis is a common occurrence in intensive care units (ICUs), no study has evaluated its prevalence or outcomes in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.This is a retrospective cohort study of critically ill patients suffering
